When co-founders disagree about compromising core values for growth

My co-founder and I started this company with shared values about worker ownership and now we're at the point where we need to bring in investors and every conversation about funding feels like we're slowly compromising everything we said mattered to us. We keep having the same circular arguments about what we can 'live with' and I don't think either of us knows where our actual line is anymore.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who built something together on shared principles are discovering their boundaries around those principles aren't actually aligned when tested by external pressure.
